Epicardial stimulation from a left ventricular site through the coronary sinus successfully induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in a Brugada syndrome patient after right ventricular stimulation failed.
Case Report (n=1)
CARLSSON, J., et al. : Possible Role of Epicardial Left Ventricular Programmed Stimulation in Brugada Syndrome. A patient with recurrent syncope due to polymorphic ventricular tachcardia was diagnosed with Brugada syndrome. Programmed right ventricular stimulation could not induce arrhythmia. Epicardial stimulation from a left ventricular site through the coronary sinus led to polymorhic VT. The stimulation protocol for risk stratification in Brugada syndrome is discussed.
Carlsson et al. (Thu,) conducted a case report in Brugada syndrome (n=1). Epicardial left ventricular programmed stimulation vs. Programmed right ventricular stimulation was evaluated on Induction of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Epicardial stimulation from a left ventricular site through the coronary sinus successfully induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in a Brugada syndrome patient after right ventricular stimulation failed.
